[Fencing Frog]

My Friend John and I met for a truly savage Darke age slug fest.  The Britons fought almost to the last man.

That was some bloodbath!

I'm surprised that the Britons didn't try to cut and run a bit earlier seeing as its a campaign....

That is one small problem with the campaign system... the winner usually recovers his men faster regardless of how high casualties are.  I think John and I would have both backed off by mutual agreement if there was any way to resolve that.

I believe there is. One of the sides can do a voluntary retreat and the 'victor' doesn't have to challenge that retreat.

Yes, that's correct. I did that in one of the games in the campaign I played when the rules first came out. I can't recall exactly how it works and don't have the book to hand, but it can be done.
